Welcome pukuriri. Glad you made it back to riding.
Took me 59 years to get started. Sure wish I'd discovered it sooner . . . . . LOL
Have fun out there.

Welcome to the born again club. From the sounds of it, you'll be needing a new nickname. :yes:

Welcome back! As a 'returning biker' myself I bought the 'F' three years ago and love it! Couple weeks ago I finally got my wife back on pillion after 30 years, too!!!

She loved it and now wants her own bike, or for me to get a bigger one! She was the perfect pillion, too, just like she was back then!

Gotta say, Love the FJ, has its quirks, but you get that. Working hard at rounding off the square tyre i inherited from the previous owner ... got the perfect stretch of road though, SH16 has got to be one of the beat for bikes (in the north anyway LOL)

Welcome along! Another born-again biker... there are a few of us around...!

Watch out for that SH16 road. Plenty of warnings on here about the police activity around that way........:yes:

Cheers, I see them about from time to time.

More concerned about the amount of road works being done at the moment! Alot between Cowcop and West Coast Rd, came through yesterday in the car.:argh:

Welcome back mate. I did exactly the same as you -time off, marriage kids etc.

Remind me when we meet - I'll shout you a beer.
